Obadiah

Read the first 4 verses of Obadiah.  Think of specific people in your life who are marked by pride and self-reliance.  What is the source of their pride?

 

Edom’s hostility toward Israel came from spite and bitterness (from generations back – see Genesis 25).  Has bitterness ever caused you to hate someone?  What was the result in your life?

 

What is God’s solution to bitterness and spite?  See Ephesians 4:31 for starters.

 

Are you facing a “battle” that seems completely overwhelming?  Read Romans 8:31-39 for strength.
